Dotty Magazine Issue Two Dec 2013 | Page 4

TITLE Love Letter from the Editor Three months ago, Dotty Magazine was launched for the very first time. Since then, it has been read online by over 5,000 people and has been met with comments such as, “Now, that’s what I call a wedding magazine!” I’ve been completely overwhelmed by the positive reactions to the magazine, and I’m delighted to present the Winter Edition. I can’t even begin to explain how much fun we had working on this issue, with three fabulous photo shoots for you to enjoy. You’ll be able to swoon over the couture designs of Jessica Charleston in luxurious Bath, and embrace the festive season in our Yurt shoot, which brings together a superb collaboration of wedding creatives. Then, take a step behind the scenes with vintage lingerie and delicate bridal details.

RoyalCrescent.co.uk Continuing the rule of three, we’ve also got a trio of crafty tasks for you to try, from favours and bouquets, to recreating the feather headpiece included in our Yurt shoot! If that wasn’t enough, the pages are literally bursting with hints and tips, inspiration and a range of quality designers and suppliers that we can’t recommend enough. So I shall wish you a very Merry Christmas, and the most wonderful New Year. If you’re joining us as a ‘newly engaged couple’ after the Christmas break, a very big “welcome and congratulations” to you! Issue Three will launch in March, so until then, I shall bid you farewell.
